About MeList of fifteen etchings by James McBey, which were sold to friend and art collector H. H. Kynett. McBey created this numbered list and has drawn a small image of the etching beside each title. The reverse explains that each etching was to be £30, but "Doc" had paid $1500 for these fifteen.

The list consists of one handwritten in pen on both sides.

This object is part of an archive that belonged to Marguerite McBey. As a result of her generosity, Aberdeen Art Gallery holds the largest archive of James McBey's work, including prints, drawings, sketchbooks, oil paintings and memorabilia such as this letter.
